Joke For The Day

Many years ago, a powerful Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai. Only three applied for the job: a Chinese, a Japanese, and a Jewish Samurai. “Demonstrate your skills!” commanded the Emperor.

The Chinese samurai stepped forward, opened a tiny box, and released a fly. He drew his samurai sword and *Swish!* the fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two! “What a feat!” said the Emperor.

“Number Two Samurai, show me what you do.”

The Japanese samurai smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a fly. He drew his samurai sword and * Swish! * Swish! * The fly fell to the floor neatly quartered. “That is skill!” nodded the Emperor.

“How are you going to top that, Number three Samurai?”

The Jewish samurai, Obi-wan Cohen, stepped forward, opened a tiny box releasing one fly, drew his samurai sword and *Swoooooosh!* flourished his sword so mightily that a gust of wind blew through the room. But the fly was still buzzing around!

In disappointment, the Emperor said, “What kind of skill is that? The fly isn’t even dead.”
